American media called him as a “Revolutionary Artist,” and his artwork has been exhibited nationally and internationally in both solo and group shows.
In the last decade and a half, his research has centered on "AI and Singularity Art," investigating the transformative impact of technological singularity on the future of artistic practice. His scholarly contributions include numerous articles and six monographs, among them Singularity Art, Singularity: Subversive BioArt, Strong and Weak AI Art, and Tan On Art/Art On Tan etc. His current projects include forthcoming volumes on Art Futurology, The Art of the Invisible, and Quantum Art.
He is a professor of art at Rutgers University，and has served as a core board member of the Digital Art Committee, a juror for the digital art gallery and the chairperson for students' animation competition at SIGGRAPH. He was also one of the key activists during the ’85 art trend of China.
